How do I know if my project is eligible?

1. In order to be eligible to apply, you must be or represent an established organisation. This could include a community group, charity, voluntary organisation, Parish or Town Council, Community Interest Company or registered business. We are unfortunately unable to accept applications from individuals.

2. You must meet the criteria set by government for Investment Priority E11

3. You must be able to deliver against the outcome of increased engagement and be able to measure and evidence this.

4. You do not need to be based in the Castle Point Borough to apply, however your project must deliver within Castle Point Borough.

More detailed eligibility criteria are listed within the Guidance.

How do I apply?

You will need to complete two key documents and submit these with your application. These are:

• The Application Form 
• The Budget and Timelines Template 

These two documents will help us understand the benefits of your project, how it will help to deliver local and national objectives, and to check that your project is realistic and achievable. We will not review any additional documentation as part of the application process.

Step by step help is available in the Guidance and you can view an Explanatory Presentation below to help you complete these documents.

We have also compiled a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) document which will be updated with any additional questions received from applicants.

If you need any additional support or accessibility adjustments, please email ukspf@castlepoint.gov.uk
